The Philadelphia Phillies and two-time All-Star Jordan Romano are in agreement on a one-year deal worth $7.75 million, ESPN and The Athletic reported Monday.

The 31-year-old right-hander was non-tendered by Toronto earlier this offseason. The Phillies bolster their bullpen after Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez hit free agency.

Romano went 1-2 with a 6.59 ERA in 15 relief appearances with the Blue Jays this past season. Romano battled injuries last season and underwent season-ending right elbow surgery in July.

He saved 36 games in 2022 and 2023, earning All-Star nods in each season. Overall, Romano is 20-17 in 231 career relief appearances with 105 saves and a 2.90 ERA.
